INGREDIENTS
CHICKEN:
- 1 pound ground organic ground chicken
- 1 organic pasture raised egg
- ½ cup gluten free breadcrumbs
- freshly ground sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- Splash avocado oil
BUTTER SAUCE:
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 organic garlic bulb (minced)
- 2 tablespoons freshly ground or minced ginger
- 2 tablespoons masala
- 1 tablespoon curry powder
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon red pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

- freshly ground sea salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1 6 ounce can organic tomato paste
- 1 14 ounce can organic coconut milk
- ½ cup coconut yogurt
- 2 tablespoons organic grass-fed butter
- ½ cup filtered water
RICE:
- 2-3 packs of Trader Joe’s organic jasmine rice (you could make the rice from scratch, but that’s too much work for me to be honest and Trader Joe’s organic jasmine rice is perfect); all you need to do is microwave it
BROCCOLI:
- 2 cups organic frozen broccoli. Microwave for a minute or two or until warm.
INSTRUCTIONS
- Heat the oven to 450 degrees fahrenheit.
CHICKEN:
- Chop the chicken into bit sized pieces.
- Add the chicken, egg, breadcrumbs, and some salt and pepper to a bowl. Mix well.
- Coat your hands with a little avocado oil and roll the chicken into one-to-two-inch size meatballs. As you form the meatballs, place them on a baking sheet covered in non-bleached parchment paper.
- Once all formed, place in the oven and make for 15 minutes.
BUTTER SAUCE:
- In the meantime, chop the garlic and ginger.
- Heat up a 12-inch cast iron pan on the stove to medium or so.
- Once heated, add the avocado oil. Once the avocado oil is heated, add the ginger and garlic and cook until brown and tendered. Then, add the salt and pepper.
- Then, add the cayenne, ginger powder, garlic powder, curry powder, turmeric and garam masala. Stir nonstop for 30 seconds (until the spices are fragrant).
- Then, add in the tomato pasta and coconut milk. Bring to a boil. Once boiling, cook for 5 more minutes.
- Then, add in the coconut yogurt and butter. Stir well.
- The meatballs should be done by now, and then, place them in the sauce mixture.
RICE:
- During the last 5 minutes of cooking the sauce, microwave the rice packets by opening the packets and placing the rice in a glass microwave safe bowl; microwave for 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Then, microwave the broccoli.
FINISHING TOUCHES:
- Serve by adding rice, broccoli and the chicken and sauce mixture on a plate.
